Rangers squad revealed as Oscar Cortes awaits Philippe Clement decision amid key injury ripple effect

Clement is facing an injury headache in the wide areas ahead of the trip to St Johnstone.

It's set to be a huge game in Perth with pressure on Rangers to claim top spot in the table for the first time in the Philippe Clement era.

After Celtic slipped up against Kilmarnock the Belgian will take his side to McDiarmid Park and take on St Johnstone. Brendan Rodgers' men currently hold a narrow one point lead at the summit and the Light Blues will be desperate to see off Craig Levein's side and take a major step forward in their push to lift the Scottish Premiership title.


There is some good news for the Clement as he prepares to leave Govan for the away day with Dujon Sterling returning from a two-game ban. Leon Balogun is also available having returned to training while wearing a protective mask. However, Clement will be without Rabbi Matondo with the Welsh international missing out alongside Kemar Roofe, Danilo, Kieran Dowell and Abdallah Sima.
